about

We were living in a cottage on the ocean in Roberts Creek BC, and I woke early one morning to this little drama.

On The Water
I
NTRO [E] // /[A]//[E] // / X 2

VERSE 1
[E] [A] [E]
There’s a tug out on the water
[C#m] [A]
I can just make out it’s lights
[E] [F#m7]
The throbbing of the diesels
[A]
Sounds so close
[C#m] [B7]
In the still dark night
CHORUS
[C#m]
Out on the water
[A]
Out on the water
[C#m]
Out on the water
[B7] [E]
In the still dark night

VERSE 2
[E] [A] [E]
There’s an eagle out on the water
[C#m] [A]
Circles patiently in it’s flight
[E] [F#m7]
Patience is rewarded
[A] [C#m]
By a flash of silver
[C] [B7]
In the golden light
 
CHORUS
[C#m]
Out on the water
[A]
Out on the water
[C#m]
Flash of silver
[B7] [E]
In the golden light

Interlude:
[B >R-3d-5th] [E]
A picture from my window
[B >R-3d-5th] [E]
Taken just before the dawn
[B >R-3d-5th] [E]
No one else has woken,
[B >R-3d-5th] [E]
It’s mine and mine alone
[F#m7] [B7]
A little slice of time, captured in a rhyme
[E] [B >R-3d-5th] [E] [B
>R-3d-5th]
A picture from my window oooooh

SOLO X 8 Bars

CHORUS
[C#m]
Out on the water
[A]
Out on the water
[C#m]
Out on the water
[B7] [E]
In the still dark night
 
VERSE 3
[E] [A] [E]
There’s a storm out on the water
[C#m] [A]
You can watch it comin’ on
[E] [F#m7]
Grey mist rising
[A] [C#m] [C] [B7]
‘Til the sky and the sea are one

CHORUS X3
[C#m]
Out on the water
[A]
Out on the water
[C#m]
Out on the water
[B7] [E]
Where the sky on sea are one
[C#m]
Out on the water
[A]
Out on the water
[C#m]
Out on the water
[B7] [E]
In the still dark night
END
